    Overview

    The Twingate Linux Client, version 1.0.49, has a known issue that can result in the Linux Client to crash in some environments. 

    Symptoms

    • The Linux Client crashes after running without issue for some time. Generally it will run without issue for 5-10 minutes before crashing.
    • The below Bad file descriptor message is seen in the Linux Twingate Client Logs.
      [warn] Epoll ADD(4) on fd 14 failed. Old events were 0; read change was 0 (none); write change was 1 (add); close change was 0 (none): Bad file descriptor

    Resolution

    This issue is resolved in later versions of the Linux Client. Upgrade through your applicable Linux package manager.

    • Arch/pacman and Debian/apt based systems will update automatically when our hosted install script is rerun:
      curl -s https://binaries.twingate.com/client/linux/install.sh | sudo bash
    • With Fedora or CentOS Stream/DNF based systems, this must be done manually via the following command: 
      sudo dnf update twingate -y
